11 Movie Scenes Only Shot For The Trailer

6. Terminator 2: Judgment Day

For many, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a perfect blockbuster. James Cameron's beloved sequel blew moviegoers away with its breathtaking chases, monumental stunts, flawless action sequences, and mesmerising special effects.

To top it all off, T2 gave us one of the most iconic villains in cinema - the T-1000. The T-800 may have been intimidating, but this liquid metal android seemed genuinely indestructible.

However, the T-1000 could've come across as more terrifying. After John Connor, Sarah Connor, and The Terminator narrowly evade the mimetic robot, Sarah scolds her son, telling him he shouldn't rescued her. Based on the trailer, this scene would've concluded with Sarah asking Arnie's character, "Can it (the T-1000) be destroyed?" Without missing a beat, the The Terminator utters, "Unknown."

Even though this exchanges lasts a few seconds, it makes the polymorphic machine ten times scarier. With one simple word, The Terminator informs the people he was sworn to protect that he has no idea how to defeat his enemy. Worst still, he is unsure if the T-1000 can be killed.

Despite being a chilling line, it didn't make it into the movie, not even in the Director's Cut.
